The Khao Lak Community Appeal was launched in January 2005 in memory of six British friends who died in the tragic events of the Tsunami on Boxing Day 26th December 2004. They were staying in Khao Lak, the most devastated area in Thailand. The charity is also in recognition of the fantastic people of Khao Lak, who did so much to help survivors, having lost virtually everything themselves.

The Aim of The Khao Lak Community Appeal is to give back to the community in Khao Lak through improvements to Health Care and Education in this region of Thailand.
